About this Event
Full Lineup TBA
Shaquille has been passionate about music from a very young age – at just 14 after O’Neal saw Public Enemy live for the first time, while sandwiched in a crowd of 5,000 people, he became fixated on DJ’ing. He cut his neighbors’ grass, walked dogs, and scraped together any cash that he could until he saved up $200 to buy his first set of turntables at a local pawn shop. Fast forward to 1993, Shaquille’s rap album, ‘Shaq Diesel,’ did the unthinkable of selling over a million copies and peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard 100 cementing O’Neal as the only athlete ever with a platinum-selling album. Since becoming DJ DIESEL, SHAQ has released several major bass records with acts such Steve Aoki, Riot Ten, NGHTMRE, Riot Ten, Eliminate, 4B and many more.
From there DJ Diesel’s career was born as he cemented the title of ‘the biggest DJ in the world.’ DJ Diesel has graced main stages around the globe from Lost Lands to Tomorrowland, EDC LV, Lost Lands, Lollapalooza, Electic Zoo, Forbidden Kingdom, Beyond Wonderland and even launched his own festival series – Shaq’s Bass All Stars – all while balancing a Las Vegas residency at the WYNN (XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club).
Venue
The Container Globe is a one of a kind, 20,000-square-foot venue that reimagines Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre through a modern, industrial lens. Built from 50+ repurposed shipping containers, scaffolding, and industrial mesh, its raw, almost steampunk is made to be a multi-level, immersive experience that puts the crowd right in the middle of the action rather than separated from the stage. This venue is the brainchild of entrepreneur and music manager Angus Vail, who worked with architecture firm Perkins Eastman and specialist engineers to bring the concept to life.
